    A person needs to be strong to be kind.

    … and all that variations of noblesse oblige principles out there.

    with that out of the way:

    If the most prevalent form of strength is money, like capitalism, then the way to earn it must be through greed.

    …the good in humankind…

    with greed, no. excessive greed is not good.

    … can prevail

    especially the prevail part. There’s a few notably strong people not swayed by greed, but it can only go that far. Greed is a really strong force for both incentive and corruption.
